Chiropractic Treatments
Types of Treatment
Manual therapy
Some patients respond well to different types of muscle massage and can be very beneficial in conjunction with other types of treatment.
Manipulative therapy
Many patients respond well to manipulation, but for some it is not beneficial and perhaps even contraindicated. At the time of your examination, the option of this treatment will be determined.
Exercise and stretches - very different from other chiropractors & Physical Therapy
The patient may be given instructions in self management of exercises that may vary greatly from other exercises patients have attempted elsewhere. Patients often respond well to certain exercises when other exercises have failed.
Active care vs. passive care
Most medical research now indicates that patients respond much better when they take an active roll in correcting their injuries as opposed to passively being treated manually by the clinician. This essentially means many patients do better with exercise and adjustments rather than adjustments alone.
Manipulation under anesthesia
For extreme cases, Dr. Hall can perform manipulative therapy (adjustments) and stretches while the patient is sedated in the operating room. This procedure is performed by Dr. Hall while the patient is under the care of the anesthetist and nursing staff.
Evidence based spine care
Most treatments performed are supported by the most advanced medical research available. The type of treatment the patient receives depends on establishing an accurate diagnosis. If your case falls outside the scope of the chiropractor you will be referred to the best medical professional for your injury.
Integrated Spine Care
Dr. Hall often consults with other providers regarding the treatment of patients. This may include your primary care doctor, spine surgeon, pain specialist, or physical therapist. The team approach is often much better for the patient especially with severe complex cases. If Dr. Hall is unable to help, you will be directed to the best medical professional for your case.

Treatment Results
Most patients can feel results within a couple of weeks and a few treatments. The more aggressive the patient performs exercises and stretches, the better the outcomes.
For chronic pain or severe disc injuries it may take several treatments over several weeks. It often takes time to train the body how to move differently and prevent aggravation of the injury.
Some patients may even experience rapid recovery within 48 hours.
For cases that do not respond to care, the patient will be quickly referred to the appropriate specialist or surgeon. |
